The only one I can think of that has a definite owner is John Lennon's "Right!" (unless he got it from someone else or does it as frequently/well). But who are the best practitioners of "Yeah!", "Alright", "C'mon" and so on...and how many different exhortations can you name? thanks in advance

Daltrey's "yYEEAAAAAAAAHH." Kinda sucks for him, though, that he's been called upon to scream like that at every show for the past 40+ years.

"watch me now" - this must be an old soul/r&b thing, but I always associate it with Velvet era-Lou (then Bowie)
